Orders
The Bombay High Court dismissed the petitions filed by Nilesh Hiraman Bhegade and others challenging their exclusion from cooperative society elections. The court held that Section 27(10) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 bars defaulting loan members from voting, and the petitioners' status as defaulters on the cut-off date (1 January 2025) disqualified them despite clearing dues thereafter. The court emphasized that petitioners should have been vigilant in clearing dues before the cut-off date if they intended to exercise voting rights. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
